mempolicy: fix show_numa_map() vs exec() + do_set_mempolicy() race
9e7814404b77 "hold task->mempolicy while numa_maps scans." fixed the
race with the exiting task but this is not enough.
The current code assumes that get_vma_policy(task) should either see
task->mempolicy == NULL or it should be equal to ->task_mempolicy saved
by hold_task_mempolicy(), so we can never race with __mpol_put(). But
this can only work if we can't race with do_set_mempolicy(), and thus
we can't race with another do_set_mempolicy() or do_exit() after that.
However, do_set_mempolicy()->down_write(mmap_sem) can not prevent this
race. This task can exec, change it's ->mm, and call do_set_mempolicy()
after that; in this case they take 2 different locks.
Change hold_task_mempolicy() to use get_task_policy(), it never returns
NULL, and change show_numa_map() to use __get_vma_policy() or fall back
to proc_priv->task_mempolicy.
Note: this is the minimal fix, we will cleanup this code later. I think
hold_task_mempolicy() and release_task_mempolicy() should die, we can
move this logic into show_numa_map(). Or we can move get_task_policy()
outside of ->mmap_sem and !CONFIG_NUMA code at least.

#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
/*
- * These functions are for numa_maps but called in generic **maps seq_file
- * ->start(), ->stop() ops.
- *
- * numa_maps scans all vmas under mmap_sem and checks their mempolicy.
- * Each mempolicy object is controlled by reference counting. The problem here
- * is how to avoid accessing dead mempolicy object.
- *
- * Because we're holding mmap_sem while reading seq_file, it's safe to access
- * each vma's mempolicy, no vma objects will never drop refs to mempolicy.
- *
- * A task's mempolicy (task->mempolicy) has different behavior. task->mempolicy
- * is set and replaced under mmap_sem but unrefed and cleared under task_lock().
- * So, without task_lock(), we cannot trust get_vma_policy() because we cannot
- * gurantee the task never exits under us. But taking task_lock() around
- * get_vma_plicy() causes lock order problem.
- *
- * To access task->mempolicy without lock, we hold a reference count of an
- * object pointed by task->mempolicy and remember it. This will guarantee
- * that task->mempolicy points to an alive object or NULL in numa_maps accesses.
+ * Save get_task_policy() for show_numa_map().
